Yellowtot Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 I got kinda lucky, not a big score but my 2 local ones had the hulk busters smash for like £26.49 and they both had 3 in stock last night so I reserved 6 and works out at like £17.60 each or something, cheapest I've bought them yet. Gotta keep adding them to the pile. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was tempted to get some JW but of course its all sold out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crustybeaver Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 Starts again tomorrow... Yep, I've reserved 45 White Houses and 27 Brandenburg Gates. Reckon I'm going to get some funny looks when I collect those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crustybeaver Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Looks like sources were wrong. Apparently starts Friday 6th Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skanks Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 I think this has been discussed in the other thread. :-/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crustybeaver Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 I think this has been discussed in the other thread. :-/ And your point is? This is the Argos 3 for 2 thread if you hadn't noticed, seemed like an appropriate place to discuss the deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skanks Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 My point is someone posted on the thread last week that it started on Friday 6th. Don't have a pop at me because the forum is so chaotic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crustybeaver Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 In which case it's posted twice so less chance of anyone missing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I rejected all 36 Dolphin Cruisers last year when I noticed that the first 10 I looked at were scuffed and covered in white stickers. I choice that I still don't regret. I'd make an exception if R2-D2 was still around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crustybeaver Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 I'm expecting a few rejects, but I'll just refuse them. I've ordered them all into store so with any luck there shouldn't be too many bad apples. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Box condition is usually really bad, I got super lucky earlier in the year though, all 10 r5 I bought were excellent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest TabbyBoy Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Be carefull with Argos... If you bought 9 sets at £90, 9 at £60 and 9 at £30.... Only the 9 £30 sets will be free. Split your orders up into same priced items and then see the queue behind! 13 minutes ago, TheGallows said: Don worry about the stickers from Argos there super easy to remove with a hair dryer.

Crustybeaver Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 Anyone managed to reserve any Red 5's? I've been trying to order some in for months in anticipation of a 3 for 2 deal but to no avail. There's only ever one or two kicking around at stores near me and I'm not interested in buying any other sets to make up the offer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feed Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 Nope, none around me. I’ve been watching this on Argos eBay, it’s been sat at live but out of stock for weeks. Couple of days ago… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GiliusThunderhead Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 I see Argos has last years SW advent calendar available (75056). They're worth picking up for a quick flip right? Or has the market reached saturation point on these and not really worth the effort? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yellowtot Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 Yeah I couldn't get any more R5'S either, so instead bought like 18 Elsa's castles 41062, 20 a pop and well worth a punt. I may buy a load more hulk busters, can't really decide because I already have tonnes of them, but I just love the potential of this little set.

TheGallows Posted May 5, 2016 Author Share Posted May 5, 2016 Any one have a rough idea of when the next 3-4-2 is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feed Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 Last year we had them in July, August, September and November. If the Sainsburys buy out goes ahead we may not get them and even if we do if stock is anything like now, it’ll be a none event. For me at least Argos has fallen off the map for everything except CMF’s and Mixels. Shame when I look at the R2’ and red5’s I picked up in 2014 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
